About   (request update)
I am basically a a blessed and unique person. I have overcome many trials and overcame a lot of racism, discrimination, and many obstacles to become who I am. My faith in Christ has blessed me to endure all this and still succeed. I have almost died prior to birth twice and after birth several times, but God is watching over me and protecting me and keeping me alive. I have never committed a crime. I have always been in the highest levels in my class in school. I was never afraid of a challenge. I am always willing to take a risk. I am very shy though in other areas but in my field I have to be ambitious and outgoing to succeed and I am. I have a great understanding of people and life in general. I know the Lord. I am saved, sanctified and Holy Ghost filled. I have been saved all my life. I practice what I preach. I believe in Jesus Christ and I understand and teach biblical principles to others. I first taught vacation Bible Class at 14 and Sunday school at 19. I was also assistant church secretary. I learn quickly. My father and my uncle are both certified to have a genius IQ and my sisters and brothers are very intelligent too. We all were Honors and regents classes, and may also have genius IQ's. My grandmother was in the NAACP when she was living, and my grandfather was a minister and one of my grandmothers was an radio evangelist. MY great grandfather and great grandmother and her father were ministers. I plan on studying ministry also. I am waiting until marriage to have children. I am also writing more books and finishing a screen play that I started writing when I was 17 or 18. At the age of 4 I wrote my first love song and began writing poetry at age 9 I wrote my first children's book. I am currently learning to do income taxes. I am interested in Taxes, Real estate, Insurance, Accounting, HR, Recruiting, and Benefits Administration. I am also interested in Psychology and Fashion design and Fashion Merchandising. I love to learn, and I like to work. I feel pretty bored if I am not busy, so I am always doing something, I learned that from my mom. I come from a very talented, creative, and intelligent family.
Current Whereabouts:
Creative Writing, attending a writing group twice a month, Church, fashion illustration, trying to get into grad school, would like a certificate in HR to get SPHR or PHR behind name.
Life & Professional Aspirations:
I would like to Get a MS in PSychology. A second BS or AS in Fashion Design and Illustration or Fashion Design and Merchandising, a certificate in HR, A certificate in Paralegal, a certificate in Accounting, A certificate in Income Tax Preparation, A certificate in Real Estate, and A certificate , in life, health, and home insurance. I would like to get a certificate in Labor relations from Cornell University and I would like to implement the Business Plan that I wrote in 2000 and start my own Fashion Design Company. I would like to help others achieve their goals by reaching out to others who seem to have lost their way and guide them in the direction of a successful life, career and relationship with God. I would like to continue writing and also act again. I would like to relocate eventually, to find more opportunities.
